RESEARCH INTEREST

Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of SOX3 gene expression during early phases of in vitro human neural differentiation. Interplay of SOX proteins and components of signaling pathway and their role in neural differentiation and maintenance of malignant phenotype.
Disease modeling using human induced pluripotent stem cells iPSCs
Bioactive potential of plant extracts, natural and synthetic compounds, polymer composites and carbon nanomaterial using in vitro model systems-normal and cancer cells.
Potential neurotoxic effects of food supplements, energy drinks’ components (caffeine and taurine) and alcohol using in vitro model of human neurogenesis.
